NYC - what is it about you?


Glory hallelurrrreh (thanks NeNe) - I am officially a resident of NYC!

Living where the $$$s used to flow, but security is tight.
Great building, great roommate, easy access to the Subway, moments to anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Amazing to finally experience what I knew I had been missing for so long living so close yet so far away.

I have spent so much time by myself this year. Just walking around either NYC or San Diego, roaming the aisles of stores, seeing theater or movies by myself. The more alone time I spend, the easier it has been to experience it, and enjoy it almost. I am starting to crave it. This photos was my view from the 2nd floor of the Union Square Whole Foods as I was eating lunch today. Please GOD, don't let me become the crazy cat lady that never leaves Manhattan! (Except - I have to leave NYC on almost a weekly basis for my job and I wouldn't have cats - just tons of bullies.) They like to snuggle. I miss my Ella so much.

Yesterday, I spent about 2 hours at the beautiful Apple Store in the Meatpacking District. And there I became the proud owner of a brand new MacBook Pro 13". I love it.
Mac just makes it so easy and pretty. I guess I will pay for ease and beauty. And I'm glad I didn't get the 15" - this is the PERFECT size for me - It can even fit in my purse! Girl alert Girl alert.

The last 2 weeks have allowed me to put my press agent hat back on for a bit. First, photo shoot for South Pacific and the second, well - I'll be able to blog about that a little more next week. Let's just say it was OOOmazing.

These are totally random paragraphs but I just wanted to take a moment to state my deep appreciation for my parents. I don't know how I could have gotten through this year so far without them. Just the daily "2 morn" texts from my mom, her heroic treks across the country to help me pack and let me cry on her shoulder; the amazing heart-to-heart talks with my dad and technical support - all of this has helped me remain functioning and I will be forever grateful. I pray that I will be able to show this kind of selfless love and support to someone else in my life one day. Thanks mom & dad.
